68060 Accelerators

An 030 is also more compatible. If you use your Amiga mainly for games you will be happy with 030.
If you use mostly Apps/Productivity the 060 (or 040) will give you noticeably more speed and would be worth trying to get a hold of one.

Sysspeed is the best benchmark and runs on 060.

About the AGA, i think it is a damn good chipset with amazing performance and speed for something that old. I run everything with it (productivity software, emulator including VGA modes for PCTask or Shapeshifter) very nicely.

I don't agree. OCS was awesome for it's time. 8-bit graphics wasn't that much of a leap and the PC and Mac were already there with SVGA/256 color in chunky mode. I guess that was the era of the expandable Wintel box and one reason it is the dominant platform.

Only problem is the 030, save the fact it has higher clock speeds, is no real improvement on an 020. A 28mhz 020 and 30mhz 030 are more or less the same performance in reality.

So my question is....is anyone working on a 50mhz 020 based card if it would cost less? Or are 030s the lowest spec 680x0 based CPU still produced?

The 030 might have a handy MMU on it.
